When I started my career in Administration 20 years ago in Toledo, Ohio, many of my coworkers enjoyed making scrapbooks. Do you remember scrapbooking parties? Well as a single mom, I did not have the funds or the extra time to participate in said parties. However, I did stumble upon digital scrapbooking fairly early in the game, and they quickly became my gift of choice, as I have ALWAYS loved capturing memories, both for my family, friends, and while traveling.

I gave out so many prints and books from Snapfish, MyPublisher, Mixbook, and Shutterfly, I became a pro at it, and people started to expect photo gifts from me for special occasions. This led me to upgrade my camera at least once a year, sometimes more. Fast forward to 2012, when my little sister (I am the oldest :)) was a senior in high school. I wanted to make sure I had great images for her senior year, including at the graduation commencement and at her “coming out” Cotillion ball.

I purchased my first DSLR camera the day of her ball, and that is how my professional photography career started. Over the years, I have made over 100 of these types of story books. I prefer hard cover books, and 8×11 seems to be my favorite sized book, except for wedding books, I love the 10×10 album. I have searched high and low for other companies that I can customize as much as Shutterfly, but I have not found one yet!

Having said that, I offer this type of book with almost every photography package. Photo books help tell the story of the clients life at that time, and the books are fun, easy to transport, and affordable. Traditional photo albums run hundreds to thousands of dollars more than the books that I offer, without the creativity added to the way the images are placed on a page. Take a look at my latest senior book of Adrianna that I just ordered:

Reason #1 to get your senior pictures before January: Convenience. Senior year is hectic, its pricey, but it should be fun. Senior pictures can be all 3 of those things, but they do not have to be. aByrdseyephoto Productions offer creative, fun, professional photography experiences for your senior year, whether its just for you, your mom is making you, or if you want to include your significant friend(s) in your shoot! By booking early, you can spread out the payments if needed, while getting one big senior event out of the way. I usually shoot on Saturday mornings, or Sunday afternoons, but we can also schedule time right after school, sometimes even at school!

Through October, I am offering perks for taking fall senior pictures: a senior tshirt, extra wallets, and 25% off the prints you order! Book Now for these great incentives on top of great pictures at affordable prices.

Here is an example of some of my favorite photos I have taken this year:

Senior Varsity Cheerleader Central HS

Senior Sports Portrait

My options may be different from what you are used to from a studio. All of my packages come with either prints, a photobook, or both. I wont charge you a small fee to get you in the door, then when you fall in love with the pictures, charge an unexpected fee to get them. What my packages offer takes the guesswork out of how much it will really cost you. I have affordable options, with room to add more later, and top of the line packages with everything included up front.

All sessions are held at Your favorite location. If you dont have one in mind, we will choose one together.

I use professional printing companies, and pictures and photo books take a few weeks to come in. Booking early ensures that you will have pictures ready for open house and graduation announcements, wallets to give to your classmates and family over the holidays, and time to order more before graduation if needed. You can be confident that everything will be creative, fun, & professional, from the session to the final product. If you are interested in a printed product not listed, please indicate so on your contract questionnaire.
